Rongé Island is an island off the Graham Coast (along the west coast of Graham Land) in the British Antarctic Territory. The island lies to the north of Beneden Head, separated from the mainland of the Graham Coast by the Errera Channel.

The island was roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition on 4-28 February 1898, and together with off-lying islands named IÎles de Rongé after Madame de Rongé, a contributor to the expedition. The island was resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Norsel in 1955 and photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956-57.
